Hikes to the Top
San Timoteo Canyon
Staging Area: Moreno Valley Equestrian Center parking area by mobile office,
11150 Redlands Boulevard, Moreno Valley
Trail Rating: Moderate, 5.6 miles round trip with a 350 foot elevation change.
The hike starts at the Equestrian Center just past Locust Avenue on Redlands Boulevard in the northeast part of the city. From the Equestrian Center, cross the street and proceed about one third mile on the shoulder of the road until you reach the trail. Redlands Boulevard can be a busy street with cars traveling fast, so this part requires caution. The trail itself is wide and does not have really steep climbs or drops and could be done easily with a stroller; however, it is not recommended to cross Redlands Boulevard or the shoulder before reaching the trail because of the street traffic.
Someone with a stroller may want to begin the trail from Locust Avenue, making a right on Quincy Avenue, make another right to where the pavement ends and begin the hike there. Quincy Road continues as a dirt road until it merges with the trail and is suitable for strollers.
The hike is fairly flat going and then climbs gradually as you get into the canyon. Stay on the main trail until you get to the end of the canyon. At the end of the canyon, there is a trail that goes down the hill. The trail also continues to the right but you will go left. The end of the hike is at the trail head by the Trammel Ranch Development. Return the way you went in.
Restroom available.
